African-American Culture and News

African-American culture isn't entirely different from some mainstream
cultures, but it's different enough that African-Americans feel an
emptiness when they look at mainstream media. They don't see people who
look, think, and talk like them, and they detect a noticeable absence of
African-American figures in the arenas of politics and business. For
those people who want their children to grow up appreciating their
culture, and for those African-Americans who want to hold onto their own
culture, there are channels that broadcast African American news and issues that hit home with its audience.

News and issues

News and issues focus on central figures in the African-American
community that are up and coming on the political scene or that are
doing noteworthy things in the community. There are also stories of
community news that deal with noteworthy legal issues that might be
pressing for the African-American community.

Sports and entertainment

It's not all serious on African-American channels. There are
entertainment and sports features that bring home those genres to the
masses and give the entertainment an African-American voice to
appreciate. This might include musicians, actors, sports figures, and
stand-up artists who bring joy to the world through those gifts.

You don't have to be African-American to appreciate the culture. Anyone
can tune in, just like African-Americans also watch mainstream networks
and news shows that focus on a more causation audience. Diversity in our
entertainment broadens horizons across the board for people across
cultures.
